Very nice engine Tommy. I would guess there are not many of these in
existence.

I just got this put in the shed last night. Thus far, its the only one
like this that I can come up with. Its a Dean Engine built in Covington
(or Newport), KY. This baby is HEAVY for its HP. Its got an 8 1/2 inch
bore and the flywheel rims have a 5 inch face (they're not crowned so
they aren't electric lighting wheels). The engine is all original and I
think it probably has the original oiler and compression release as if
you go to Wendel's BYB (or BRB as the case may be) on page 121 in the
upper right you'll see the engine from an old advertisement. It has a
lobe on it where it looks like there might have been a fuel pump but if
so, it hasn't been on the engine for many years as the grease is caked
on in that area. Also, in the BYB you can't see a fuel pump but I can
see the lobe. It might have been an option. Go to this website and you
can look at some additional photos (I removed the 1 gallon gas tank that
was on it). After you open, just go up to the arrow in the upper right
corner and click it and you'll go to the next photo:
